THE GRAND JURY AND ELECTIONS.

Speak or forever after hold your
peace! Monday a week will be
court, and special grand jury has
been summoned for that day. At
the June term the attention of the
court was called to the numerous
accusations and publications as to
the corrupt use of money at the May
election in this county. The edi-
tor of this paper requested Judge
Newman to give this matter in
special charge tOthe grand jury and
the Commonwealth attorney to
have publishers and others who
have been writing undertaking so
much about it to appear and testify.
There is a growing determination
to have a pure and fair ballot in
elections throughout the whole
country. Democratic courts in'iBal-
timore have sent a number of Dem
ocratie judges, clerks and registrars
of election to prison homes, and
Republican courts in Chicago have
done the same with their own. The
trials still going on show that mon
ey, ballot box stuffing, Intimidation,
threats, false or illegal registrations
and other frauds have made many
of the elections, OF the cities partic-
ularly, mere farce. II was intend
ed by the trainers of this govern
ment that men and men only should
govern it, and the man who en-
ploys any means other than sound
reasoning in elections should be
made to feel the severest penalty
of the law.
1t is notorious that in at least
three elections votes have been
bought with dollars, and merchsn-
disc, and pasture, and rents, cor
rupt hiring and threatened dis
charges from work in this county,
and the time is now propitious for
putting an end 10 it for a long time
to come. The writer Of this article
intends to do his part by going 3e.
fore the grand Jury and put them
in possession Of every accusation
and publication of which he has
heard with a view of enabling them
to summon all witnesses who may
have information on which to base
indictments. If what we hear is
not true, we should all know it. II
it is true the guilty parties should
be punished. The law never lets
20 of trifing offences. 1t should
be sufficient for graver ones.

CALLED.

Mr.. Barbours committee has met
IN Richmond, and called a Demo
cratic State Convention to Assem-.
BILE at Roanoke August 4th.
Richmond, Lynchburg, Alexan-
dria and Norfolk are said to he on
their ears, wondering whether the
committee was drunk or duly So
Der, and counting their corner lots
in fields once called Big Lick. Per
haps a better solution is the sup.
position that the committee had a
superstitious presentment that an
lawful big lick" would be the only
thing that could save the party,
which, in undertaking to doctor
that disease, called the State debt,
felt like the unfortunate physician
who, though he lost the patient,
determined to save his bill, and
made out the said bill "for curing
him till he died. "-BristOI Neps.

One of Mr.. Blaine's earliest invi.

Gladstone and was promptly &C
cepted. These leaders of public
opinion in England and America
must have enjoyed mutually the
privilege of meeting each other and
conversing freely upon the events
OF the day. Mr.. Gladstone is out
of favor at present in the tickle
world of London fashion, and it is
not considered to be good form for
any one who frequents what are
known as the great houses to pay

being thoroughly American in feel
ing and also fully sympathizing
with the Home Rule policy which
has excited the displeasure of Lon

Alice Samee Chinaman.

New York Sun.
Here is pointer for the hot spell:
The Chinese of this city who have
been converted to Christianity have for
saken their national costume as well as
their native religion. and have adopted
the dress of civilization. It appears,
though, that this heated term has driven
many of them back to their old clothes
of light and gauZy Chinese materials,
wheTewith they used to be clad IA eonl-
fort and grace before they adopted the
heavy and uninteresting garments of
the Occident.
They may stick to their new religious
principles, but back they go to their cid
clothes when the thermometer rises too
high.
Can there be any better proof that the
Chinese system of dress is better adapted
to American weather than the ordinary
American clothes are? Certainly it is
handSomer,
Why, then, should we not all indulge
in the beautiful tunicS of Chinese silk
which used to add such brilliant charms
to the Celestial figure? They are light,
they are beautiful, and we have no
doubt that TO a great majority Of Ameri-
cans they would be becoming. You
need not wear more beneath them than
you wish. Besides, they are said to be
such as the wind can blow through.
With the American coat the wind has
no chance. The most it can do is to
blow through mans whiskers. What
JOY it would be if cooling breeze"
were not confined to mans brow.
Here, then, seems to be the ideal cos
tune for summer. Even the flannel
shirt is inferior to the Chinese blouse.
And the American hat can still be worn.

Upon the trial of the Weeks

and burglarized some residence which
had been examined during the day.
After the burglary they returned to the
